'You bastard, you son of a bitch, I wish you were dead.*

Were the words that my dear mother called as I crawled out of bed
 A                                                                 D
I don't know what happened last night, but there's puke on the floor and a gash in my head
      A    E                  A
But today is gonna be a good day

[Verse]
 A                                          E
I went into work, but they said I don't work there no more
  D                                                A  E
Had my desk in a box, guards escorted me to the door
        A                                       D
And as I walked away, I lit my last cigarette, it's off to the old liquor store
    A  E                  A
Today is gonna be a good day

         D                                                A  E
And the house and the cars, in divorce the bitch took it all
         A                                                  D
Her new boyfriend Terry, he sleeps in my bed, he's got a full head of hair and he's tall

But today is gonna be a good day

Alone! I'm alone in this world!
        E                                      A
Like a traveler lost on the seas, my flag is unfurled
           D                                A
We could fight, fight, fight but what’s it all for?
         E                                           A
In the end we all wind up again at the old liquor store

That guy with the cross on the corner of 12th street and Q

Alone! I'm alone in this world!
         E                                     A
Like a traveler lost on the seas, my flag is unfurled
          D                                 A
We could fight,fight,fight but what's it all for?
        E                                          A
In the end we all wind up again at the old liquor store
